Air raid sirens echoed throughout numerous regions of the Israeli-occupied territories following the launch of a ballistic missile by the Yemeni Armed Forces targeting the occupied territories.
According to Israeli media outlets, the fresh Yemeni missile attack set off sirens in towns and cities south of the occupied territories, including Beersheba and the surrounding area, on Saturday morning.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The retaliatory strike came in response to the Israeli regime’s relentless genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, where close to 51,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children have been killed so far.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military claimed in a statement that its anti-air missile systems had intercepted the projectile, and shot it down before crossing into the skies over the occupied territories.
The overnight attack came a few hours after the United States conducted new acts of aggression against Yemen by launching a wave of airstrikes across multiple regions in the Arab country.
Five airstrikes hit the Nihm district in the capital province of Sana’a, while the Bani Matar district in the same province was also bombed. No immediate reports of casualties have emerged.
The US warplanes also carried out seven airstrikes on the Medghal district in the central province of Ma’rib.
No immediate casualty reports or damage assessments were available from the strikes.
